Dani Vee is the host of the popular literary podcast Words and Nerds where she chats to authors about writing and books. An English educator and a bookworm from birth, don’t even get her started on her favourite book, Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray!

Dani is most content with a blanket, a camomile tea, plenty of dark chocolate and a book! She is terrible with directions, can never keep her brain still and loves a good laugh. She knows two chords on her guitar and hopes that one day she’ll have time to learn a third. Dani’s first Larrikin title: My EXTRAordinary Mum was released in 2022.
